I'm not sure what you mean, but my crystal ball says that you are looking at the output of Diff in a terminal that supports UTF-8 encoded characters. If that's the case, then you will only see correct output from Diff with UTF-8 encoded files; other encodings will show gibberish. By contrast, Emacs does not support a single encoding, it supports many different ones. It needs to know the right encoding to display the characters as readable. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
